UK and France agree new migrant returns deal

Sir Keir Starmer has announced a “ground-breaking” returns scheme with France.

Under the pilot, small boat arrivals will be detained and sent back to France, while one person will be accepted into the UK via a legal route in exchange.

The prime minister said the plan, starting in the coming weeks, will include strict security checks and aim to deter illegal crossings.
